I always
     believed
      women
       prefer
        to date
       musicians
      that
     musicans
    always get
   laid but
  if that were true
 if musicians
 by virtue of
 having some gene
 for musical
talent knowing
how to beat
a drum properly
   and caress strings
    on a guitar or wrap
     their lips around a sax                          well sure okay I guess
         I can see how woman could               think that is sexy
             still if meager talents and scruffy looks and meager
                 bank accounts somehow made them favored mates
                     then by now after 1000s of years of music
                      well we'd be a world populated
                              by musicians
